Whew!

Sorry for the delays in getting an update posted. Here it is!

Here's what the foundation looked like after they took the forms off.

Getting the 'under-slab' plumbing in...

Here's the house part of the basement floor poured. The garage side will be poured on Monday the 9th.

Getting the sill seal put on.

When they say they'll 'drop' a load off, they really mean 'drop'!
And that is one BIG beam. This one goes across the main span of the garage so we don't have to have support posts in the middle of our parking spaces. It's about 7X20 inches by 36 feet. Hernia anyone?
We also attended the 'Sanpete County Fly In' recently. While there we got to meet Gail Halvorsen. He's also known as the Berlin Airlift CandyBomber. Truly a great American. He gave a talk about his experiences during the Airlift and then all the kids got to make candy parachutes. Looks like Jamie is getting a head start on the goods...

And the completed ordanance!
Bombs Away!

They also had some r/c pilots there. This guy was flying a 1/4 scale acrobatic model. It was really neat to watch.


Josh and Abby also got to take another plane ride. They were offering free rides to all the kids. I think Josh and Abby got the best pilot - He gave everybody a little glass of water to hold. Then during the flight he did a negative-g dive and everybody tried to 'drink' the little globs of water floating in front of them! We all had a really good time.
The other thing taking up a lot of our summer is Baseball! Go Abby!

Great Play!
Josh at bat.
Ready for action!
And even though Jamie isn't playing this year, she still comes and cheers everybody on!!!

Love you all, hope everything is going great!
